Tilt Renewables FY2020 Results 20 A TRANSITIONAL YEAR WITH 469MW MOVING FROM CONSTRUCTION TO OPERATIONS OUTLOOK FOR FY2021

Earnings driver FY2021 Production ▲ Dundonnell production ramp-up from April with full production possible towards end of CY2020

▲ Waipipi commissioning back ended in FY2021, with earnings a minor driver of Group EBITDAF

Energy pricing ▼ Snowtown 1 production sold merchant with hedging weighted to 1H FY2021. Spot price expectations have softened, however March 2021 quarter forward prices remain buoyant

◆ Dundonnell PPA coverage is weighted to 2H FY2021, resulting in near term revenue volatility as production during commissioning is sold into the spot market

LGC pricing ▼ FY2021 LGCs predominantly contracted under PPA or through forward sales at low to mid A$20’s

FY2021 EBITDAF guidance expected to be in the range of A$80 to A$95 million A wide EBITDAF guidance range for FY2021 reflects the timing uncertainty associated with commissioning Dundonnell and Waipipi and the price risk of pre-PPA merchant exposure (Dundonnell only)

Tilt Renewables FY2020 Results 25 FY2020 RESULTS NOTES ON FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Notes on currency conventions

1. All financial information in this publication is presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise specified.

Notes on non-GAAP Measures

2. EBITDAF is a non GAAP financial measure but is commonly used within the energy and infrastructure sectors as a measure of performance as it shows the level of earnings before the impact of gearing levels and non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortisation. Market analysts use this measure as an input into company valuation and valuation metrics used to assess relative value and performance of companies across the sector.

3. Underlying Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that Tilt Renewables chooses to disclose as it excludes movements in the fair value of financial instruments which can be volatile year to year depending on movement in long term interest rate and or electricity future prices. Also excluded in this measure are items considered to be one off and not related to core business such as changes to the company tax rate or gain/impairment of generation assets.

4. Net Debt is a measure of indebtedness to external funding providers through secured loans and finance lease arrangements, net of cash at bank deposits. It does not include other financial assets such as term deposits that have not reached maturity or restricted margin accounts.

5. Balance sheet gearing is defined as Net Debt over the sum of Net Debt plus Equity
